Rugrats Fan Reviews & Ratings - TV.com One Of The Original Animated Nickelodeon Shows That I Consider A Classic 9.0 By Matt_Rap17 , Aug 25, 2016 Rugrats is what I consider one of the most innocent & charming animated shows Nickelodeon has ever made, and I think it is a great show for kids of any age. The show is about toddlers, it may sound like nothing, but it is really a lot more than that. Some of the toddlers include: Tommy, the leader of the group of toddlers. Chuckie, a very sensitive toddler. Phillip & Lillian, who are both twins. Dil, who is the baby of the group. And the oldest but best of the group, the creepy Angelica. What fascinates me about this show are all the angles this show takes with each episode. The best angles I think mainly come from Chuckie & especially Angelica, who are some of the great characters of this show. Their perspectives on everything about the large world around them is very amusing & interesting to watch. Tommy also has some funny perspectives over the world, but he doesn't have as great of a personality as the other two.

The twins are some of my least favorite, but they are not that bad of characters as you can see some of the differences between the two. Some of the adults I honestly laughed at, and they had some good personalities. Such as Grandpa Lou, who is the likeable & lazy grandpa. Another great adult character is Chas, the father of Chuckie, who reminds me of Ned Flanders from "The Simpsons" except a bit more sensitive. The animation of this show does seem a bit dated, but that's forgivable as it was animated in the early 90s. The music in the show is not bad, it does sound a bit silly though, but it works well. Overall: Rugrats is a classic Nickelodeon show that people may be turned off by because it is about toddlers, but it's a great one as it has some great toddler characters, it shows perspective with the toddler characters, some adults are really memorable, & it's very charming. 3.5/4 Stars 1000+ images about rugrats on Pinterest | Logos, Nickelodeon spongebob and Cartoon rugrats characters | ...

Rugrats - Quotes "You babies are so dumb, I can't believe you lived to be one." - Angelica "Sometimes a baby's gotta do what a baby's gotta do." - Tommy Rugrats Susan Scott Pre-Writing: Audience and Criteria In my Critical Analysis of a Television Program, I will analyze the Nickelodeon show Rugrats. I will expose the negative aspects of the series and attempt to explain to millions of parents that the show is harmful to good childhood development. My audience will include parents of five to twelve year old children.

These parents are probably between the ages of twenty-three and forty-five. Some are married, some are divorced and some are single parents, but they all share a common concern for the well being of their children. These parents are working, middle to upper class citizens living in neighborhoods and apartment complexes all over the country. They might have never viewed Rugrats because their hectic schedules are cluttered with careers, PTA, Rotary Club meetings, tennis leagues, supper clubs and church functions. Their children come home from school to an empty house or to a babysitter. The parents have said that some channels such as MTV are off limits because of inappropriate shows, but the trust Nickelodeon because it is geared toward children. They may also blindly .consider all cartoons to be okay for their young viewers. I have been babysitting for five years. Two of those years, I worked daily for a family with two small boys. I have experienced first hand how impressionable children are when it comes to television. I was able to watch the boys play and interact when their parents were not around, and I began to notice that television shows were able to negatively influence their attitudes and actions.

The criteria that I will use in my paper to exemplify a bad television show are examples of: children disobeying parents, hateful attitudes and dangerous activity with no consequences. Many programs show children doing bad things behind their parents' backs and even being blatantly rude to authority figures. Constantly showing incidences of television children disobeying their parents influences real children to be defiant and disrespectful. Examples of children with hateful attitudes, especially when those attitudes lead to hurtful actions, can make small children mean. Television shows brainwash children into thinking that it is "cool" to be the bully and to boss others around. Hateful attitudes can also lead to problems with sharing and including other children. The most dangerous negative criteria is examples of dangerous activity with no consequences. The perfect examples are the "Roadrunner/Coyote" type of violence in which humorous, yet dangerous violence leads to minimal or no injury. This can make children believe that they are invincible and that they cannot get hurt, hurt others, or possibly be killed doing dangerous stunts. This audience and these criteria are all pieces that I will use to persuade parents to prohibit their young children from watching Nickelodeon's Rugrats.

Essay Is it possible that the seemingly innocent cartoons that your child is watching are causing his or her disrespect or discipline problems? This may seem to be a radical and absurd accusation, but have you taken the time to watch popular cartoons with your child? Today's cartoons are nothing like the classic episodes of Yogi Bear and Bugs Bunny that you grew up watching. They deal with heavier and less appropriate subject matters. Through constant exposure to negative cartoons, your child may be picking up bad habits. The author of "Children, Adolescents and Television", in Pediatrics magazine explains, "Many young children cannot discriminate between what they see [on television] and what is real." Since children cannot make this differentiation between fantasy and reality, they will oftentimes imitate what they watch on television. Therefore, it is very important that your child is not watching programs that display bad behavior. The hit children's program Rugrats is a cartoon about five children and their daily adventures around their world that consists of the backyard, the playpen and the baby beds. Most parents are completely comfortable with this program because it comes on after school, at three o'clock and they trust its network, Nickelodeon. The show, in fact, is very harmful for good childhood development.

While watching Rugrats, children see the characters disobeying their parents, characters with hateful and mean attitudes, and they are swayed to believe that dangerous activity leads to no consequences. The negative influence of the characters and the story lines displayed on Rugrats are harmful to a young child's behavior and development. Rugrats constantly shows the babies disobeying their parents. The characters seem to have no regard for their parent's rules. For example, one episode showed Tommy and Chucky sitting in the playpen. The parents told the boys not to leave the playpen. Tommy and Chucky wanted to go outside and play with Tommy's Raptor doll but they were reluctant to do so. Angelica slyly persuaded the babies to break out of their playpen, and to escape into the backyard unnoticed. Another episode showed the babies sneaking into the kitchen to get cookies out of the cookie jar after they were repeatedly told not to. Neither of these episodes showed any form of punishment for this kind of defiance. Programs, such as Rugrats, that constantly show children disobeying their parents and being blatantly rude to authority figures can be very influential on small children, especially when this disrespect is never followed by rebuke or punishment.

Children will begin to see this disobedience as acceptable behavior, and will soon become defiant and disrespectful. Rugrats also portrays children with hateful attitudes that sometimes lead to hateful actions. Angelica is constantly telling the other babies that she hates them. She loves to bully them and push them around. Despite Angelica's hatefulness, the babies idolize her and love to play with her. Rugrats brainwashes children into thinking that it is "cool" to boss others around. As if Angelica's hatefulness was not enough, sometimes it rubs off onto the other babies. On one episode Tommy and Angelica ganged up on Chucky and made fun of him for having to wear glasses. Watching this behavior on a daily basis can make small children mean. Hateful attitudes can eventually lead to problems with sharing and including other children. One episode showed all of the babies playing kickball. Tommy, Chucky, and Phil would not let Lil play, only because she is a girl. Lil was forced to sit on the sidelines and watch the fun from afar. Rugrats teaches children negative lessons about attitudes. It leads children to believe that hatefulness is acceptable.

Through the years, cartoons have used a "Roadrunner/Coyote" type of violence to attract viewers. This type of violence portrays a terrible accident that causes no injury or death. The accident provokes us to laugh because we do not fear for the victim's safety. Similarly, Rugrats constantly presents children with instances of dangerous activity. These actions have few, if any, real consequences. Daily you can see examples of activity such as babies running across the street without looking for cars, climbing up tall bookcases, or testing their homemade flying machine. When the flying machine or bookcase crashes to the ground, all of the babies jump up, unharmed, and try to fix it. Real children would break bones or possibly die in these accidents. Through watching a program like Rugrats, children begin to believe that they are invincible. They think that they cannot get hurt or hurt others while doing dangerous stunts. Even though this may seem unreasonable, Louis H. Primavera and William G.

Herron explain that "people learn by imitating what they see, and that children are particularly receptive to such learning." Because of this imitation tendency, children need to be shielded from television shows, such as Rugrats, that might plant dangerous ideas in their heads and distort their sense of reality and danger. The major problem with this situation, is not the cartoons, it is that parents are too busy to know what their children are watching. Between careers, PTA, Rotary Club meetings, tennis leagues, supper clubs and church functions, it may be difficult to monitor your child's television viewing. You may be responsible enough to say that some channels such as MTV are off limits because of inappropriate content, but you probably trust Nickelodeon because it is geared toward children. You may also unknowingly consider Rugrats to be an appropriate program only on the basis that is it a cartoon. This is not a valid criteria when one considers the negative aspects of the program. Rugrats can cause children to be disobedient, have bad attitudes, and try dangerous activities. Considering this should you not protect your child from this program and others like it? Leslie Prawd explains that "children need and should have some form of adult supervision" while watching television.

All that it takes is a few minutes to sit with your children and evaluate what you are allowing to seep into their developing minds. It is imperative that, after watching television with your children, you make rules concerning what you want and do not want your children to view. Talk to you children about these rules and make sure that they completely understand what the rules are and why you have made them. Also, set up reasonable, yet stern consequences for breaking those rules. When you hire a babysitter, explain to him or her exactly which show you want or do not want your children to watch. All of these provisions will help shelter your children from inappropriate television programs that could possibly affect their behavior. As a parent, begin today to point your children's development in a positive direction by restricting negative television programs such as Rugrats. "Children, Adolescents, and Television." Pediatrics.

Emma Brady The Rugrats have broken out of the playpen and started to show up on the pages of Facebook as kids of the 90s pick their fav toddler to represent them on the social network! Are you a Tommy Pickles? Maybe you’re more Angelica? Is Chuckie Finster your main man? We’ve got those Rugrats pictures to post as your cartoon fav! Which Rugrat picture will you choose? Tommy Pickles.

If you are the mastermind always looking for an adventure, you’ve gotta go with good old Tommy Pickles! Dressed in a t-shirt and diaper, Tommy was on the lookout for the next big adventure out of the playpen for his friends. Angelica Pickles. Ever the big(ger) kid, Angelica’s goal in life was to keep the rugrats under lock and key. The main protagonist of the series, Angelica set to work to use the baby’s for her own missions and keep the ‘dumb babies’ under her mighty pre-school thumb. Chuckie Finster. The scaredy-cat of the group and Tommy Pickles best friend, Chuckie is often the voice of grown up reason (at the age of two). Always adorned with messy orange hair and oversized purple glasses, he is the child of a single dad for much of the show’s run following the death of his mom shortly after his birth. While he always gets dragged into the adventure, he typically voices his concern about what will happen in overly dramatic fashion. So which Rugrats picture will you choose?

(New York City) – See all my reviews "Rugrats" was one of my favorite shows when I was little. I watched it when it premiered back in 1991 when I was four with the other two original Nicktoons, "Doug" and "Ren and Stimpy".

I watched all three shows but "Rugrats" was my favorite of the three. The original 65 episodes where classics. They featured real adventures shown from a baby's point of view. My favorite characters were Phil and Lil, they were funny, and Angelica. My favorite episodes of the original 65 were "Together At Last", "Pickles vs. Pickles", "Passover", and "Slumber Party". Even though all of the original episodes were great. After airing for three years "Rugrats" was canceled. It was during the three year hiatus where "Rugrats" hit its peak. After popular demand the creators decided to bring "Rugrats" back with new writers starting with holiday specials like "Chanukah" and "Mother's Day". The 97' episodes were good but not as good as the original. My favorites from these seasons were: "Baby Maybe", "Johnathon Babysits", and "Autumn Leaves". Things soon changed in 98' with a feature movie bringing the arrival of Tommy's new baby brother Dil. The movie was good, however, the episodes that followed staring Dil were not.

"Rugrats" turned from a show following the adventures of babies to a show about babies babysitting a younger baby. Every episode now followed Dil. If the babies tried to go on an adventure Dil would always ruin it. There were, however, a few good episodes here and there in the Dil season. (two of my favorites being "No Naps" and "Music"). The other episodes were basically about the babies getting abused by Dil. And just when you think things couldn't get any worse they did in 2001 with the arrival of three new characters. The "Rugrats" second feature movie "Rugrats in Paris" debuted in theaters in the fall of 2000. I loved the movie and I thought it was better than the first. The episodes that followed however were really, really, really bad. The series went from a show evolving around the Pickles to evolving around the Finsters. Kimi, Chuckie's new step-sister, is a female Tommy.(Why do we need another Tommy?) Kira, Chuckie's new step-mother is just plain annoying. Lulu, Granpa's new wife is just pointless. Why did Grandpa have to move out?

Didn't he already try to move out back in 1993 and moved back in because he realized that his grand kids needed him? All episodes featuring the new characters were dull. The babies no longer went on adventures. Instead they just followed Kimi's imagination. The only decent episodes in the Kimi seasons are "The Perfect Twins" and "Pre-school Daze". And that is because these episodes barely feature Kimi and her imagination at all. In conclusion if you want to watch a good show, watch the original 65 episodes or at least the Pre-Dil episodes. You can still catch the original 65 episodes on Nick's new T.V. station Nicktoons. *Ratings* Classics Rugrats(91-94) - 10/10, Pre-Dil(97-98) - 9.5/10, Dil Seasons- 3/10, Kimi Seasons- 1/10 46 of 63 people found this review helpful.

Tommy Pickles and his best friends are here to show you the world from a diaper's eye view...and get into some big messes along the way. From investigating the big white flushy thing in the bathroom to making sure their uncle isn't a robot, there's always big mysterious to solve and endless adventures to be had when the Rugrats are around. These babies may be little, but they have a lot to say. The best part? The adults can't understand them… but YOU can. Hang on to your diapies, babies, we're goin' in! 20 Times "Rugrats" Was Nightmarishly Creepy - "Angelica's Worst Nightmare" | Guff 20 Times "Rugrats" Was Nightmarishly Creepy Published May 27, 2015 · By Robin Zlotnick 20 Times "Rugrats" Was Nightmarishly Creepy "Angelica's Worst Nightmare" "Angelica's Worst Nightmare" In this episode, Angelica learns that her mom is going to have another baby, and the thought of adults diverting their attention from her spoiled little self for one second sends her into a straight tizzy.

She has a nightmare in which her parents have forgotten all about her and focus entirely on her baby brother, who is actually gigantic and threatens Angelica with a terrifying, mob boss voice. He and his terrible lisp chase Angelica through the house until he catches up to her and EATS HER, exclaiming, "Now you're num-nums!" I can tell you that from an oldest child's standpoint, this episode cut deep. "In the Dreamtime - Part 1" "In the Dreamtime - Part 1" Less than a minute into this episode, Chuckie is surrounded by Alice in Wonderland-level trippy sights, like a snake made out of a hose, giant flowers, and a creepy naked man only wearing leaves around his...sensitive areas. Shortly after, the most horrible thing imaginable happens. Chuckie asks Tommy what's going on, and Tommy turns around, has the face above, and exclaims in a terrifying clown voice, "I'm not Tommy!" Chuckie awakes from his nightmare, relieved to find it was just a dream. But then the dream within a dream continues...

"The Case of the Missing Rugrat" "The Case of the Missing Rugrat" This was the most personally traumatic episode of Rugrats for me, due, in part, to the kidnapping, but mostly due to the crusty, dusty, crazy old ladies. Tommy accidentally ends up in a car that makes its way to the Grey Gardens-esque world of Emma and Clarice Pendragon, two sisters who have way too many cats and live in the squalor of a dark, dank and decrepit old mansion. They take a liking to Tommy because they think he resembles their father (he doesn't). Emma and Clarice dress him in creepy doll clothes and start calling him "Bostwick," and they stop the butler from calling the authorities because they believe Tommy was sent to them to be the heir to their nonexistent family riches. Though Tommy is returned relatively unharmed (physically at least) at the end of the episode, we were scarred for life. "Chuckie's Wonderful Life" "Chuckie's Wonderful Life" In this beyond depressing episode, based on It's a Wonderful Life, Chuckie decides to run away.

But before he does, his "gardening" angel appears and shows him what life would be like if he didn't exist. In this bizarro world, Chuckie's dad is 100% bonkers; his house is covered in floor-to-ceiling greasy pizza boxes and he talks to a sock puppet. Phil and Lil are monster children who run around breaking things, most of all their defeated parents' hearts. Tommy is left starving and dirty while his parents slave away to serve all the food they can find to a bloated, greedy Angelica who's too fat to move. It's DARK, people. We watched this as CHILDREN. "Give and Take" "Give and Take" "Hi, I'm Boppo," repeats the boomerang clown toy that terrorizes the Rugrats in this episode. Chuckie is obsessed with Boppo until, of course, Angelica makes him realize Boppo's just a creepy, old clown; then Bops becomes instantly terrifying. And let's just say deflating giant inflatable clowns doesn't make them less scary.

"The Last Babysitter" "The Last Babysitter" The classic horror movies start with a babysitter home alone with the kids, mysterious phone calls, blackouts, scary noises and a monster in the basement. That is also what happens in this super-scary episode of Rugrats. Although it turns out not to be a real monster in the end, there are enough spooky shadows and door slamming to scare even the hardest horror fans. "Legend of the Satchmo" "Legend of the Satchmo" Ah, the classic "Adult-tells-kids-an-inappropriately-scary-story-and-they-freak-out-at-everything" episode. Grandpa takes the kids camping (in the backyard) and tell the troop of toddlers the legend of the Sasquatch. The Rugrats hear "Satchmo" and spend the episode running and screaming from branches swaying in the wind and shadows of Stu. Even though you knew they were safe, the spooky darkness of the episode was fairly legit. "Chuckie vs. the Potty" "Chuckie vs. the Potty" Parenting 101: If you want a kid to learn to use the potty, don't put a terrifying clown face on it.

Also, don't let your child be routinely tortured and traumatized by an evil, blonde toddler. It will lead to horrible nightmares equating the potty with the electric chair (tough stuff for kids). "The Inside Story" "The Inside Story" You KNOW you ate inches around the watermelon seeds when you were a little kid because of this episode. If one evil toddler could scare us all into thinking watermelons would grow inside of us, it was Angelica. "The Mattress" "The Mattress" Grandpa needs a new mattress but he's really stubborn about it. Never mind that it's the nastiest mattress on the planet, frightening in and of itself, and looks like Norman Bates's mother's bed from Psycho . That was surely imprinted on the minds of all of the impressionable youth that watched this episode. Oh, and also the dream sequence when the mattress comes to life and chases after them. "Chuckie's New Shirt" "Chuckie's New Shirt" This episode of Rugrats explores the horrifying experience everyone has where you change something about your appearance and you don't even recognize yourself anymore. All the adults say they can "hardly recognize you!" and you lose your sense of identity and die alone.

Okay, so maybe that doesn't happen, but it's a real fear! Change is hard. And evil. And no one should ever do it, ever. That's definitely healthy. "In the Dreamtime - Part 2" "In the Dreamtime - Part 2" In the second part of the episode, Chuckie tells Tommy about the dream in which he was a clown, but it soon becomes clear this is also a dream. (Or should we say, nightmare?) The Rugrats climb stairs upon stairs, only to come to a hall with portraits of babies with no necks and six eyes. Chuckie leaps into space and falls until he wakes again. Then, Chuckie finds himself right at the start of his first dream. We do not trust this reality farther than we can throw it. And neither does Chuckie. Convinced he's dreaming, he goes into the neighbor's yard and confronts their scary dog, which makes him realize he's definitely awake. That night, Chaz tucks Chuckie into bed and goes to find Stu in his living room.

ONLY IT'S EVIL DREAM CLOWN STU who says, "I'm not Stu!" and laughs maniacally and that's the end of the episode. "Dust Bunnies" "Dust Bunnies" Spring cleaning is horrible enough to make any adult run screaming, let alone kids. This episode has Angelica spooking Chuckie and Tommy with false tales of dust bunnies, evil bunnies that only come out when the furniture is moved. They're pictured as scraggly things with long serpentine ears that wrap around Chuckie and drag him to his death. You know, classic kid stuff! NOT. Terrifying even today. "Real or Robots?" "Real or Robots?" This episode, like all haunting moments as a child, begins with Tommy and Chuckie watching a movie that's way too scary for them. A mad robot scientist with an evil chuckle takes over the world by changing all the dads to robots. Though Stu turns off the movie, it still rattles Tommy's mind as he tries to sleep, and they decide they have to find out if Tommy's dad is real or a robot.

Of course their investigation coincides with Stu's struggle with sleepwalking and the kids find themselves chased by a dad zombie all over the house. "Grandpa's Bad Bug" "Grandpa's Bad Bug" After a night of partying, Grandpa lies to Stu and Didi, says he's got a "bug," and goes to sleep it off. Of course, the Rugrats think an actual bug is inside of him and they spend the whole episode trying to get it out. Thinking his poor innocent uvula is the bug, they reach toy pliers right in there and yank while he's asleep! In case that isn't gag-worthy enough for you, the kids also fill sleeping Grandpa's bed with "good bugs" that will help get the bad bug out of him. If you've ever gotten an itch while in bed and become convinced you're entirely covered in creepy crawlies, maybe skip this episode. "Special Delivery" "Special Delivery" When Tommy sneaks his way into the mailman's bag, he ends up at the post office, where he goes through a conveyor belt maze and ends up getting thrown down a shoot with "cancelled" packages.

He almost ends up in this bin with a skeleton visible at the bottom, suggesting that this happened to a person once before and that that person ACTUALLY DIED DOWN THERE. "The Mysterious Mr. Friend" "The Mysterious Mr. Friend" Stu Pickles' mad scientist/inventor ways led to many creepy contraptions throughout the course of the show, but none so overtly, horrifically terrifying as Mr. Friend. From the Frankenstein beginning of the episode to the Rugrats' misunderstanding of the robot clown's name (Mr. Fiend) to the army of them that go after the Rugrats at the end, this episode is full of nightmares. "Regarding Stuie" "Regarding Stuie" In "Regarding Stuie," Tommy's dad hits his head and wakes up as a baby. This is all fun and games for the Rugrats until Tommy realizes with "Stuie the baby" around, his dad, Stu, is GONE FOREVER. That's some heavy stuff for a kid in diapers. It's heartbreaking and terrifying and Stu doesn't even go to the hospital for the concussion he most certainly experienced.

"Under Chuckie's Bed" "Under Chuckie's Bed" Chuckie goes through a lot of changes throughout the show, being the older of the Rugrats. In this episode, he gets his very first big boy bed, and there's obviously a monster with horrible, sharp teeth living under it that offers him candy to join him in the dark. Monsters may not exist, but they're still scary! "A Visit from Lipschitz" "A Visit from Lipschitz" We all remember Dr. Lipschitz, the child psychologist Didi is obsessed with in Rugrats. Well, in this episode, he actually comes to the Pickles residence for dinner. He's a vaguely European Dr. Phil slash mad scientist type, and he might be Chuckie's new "mommy" (much to his dismay). Lipschitz is left with the kids in the Pickles house, so naturally he decides to take a bubble bath, roll on the floor in a robe crying and give the kids piggy back rides. You probably don't remember this episode because it's extremely disturbing and problematic in every way imaginable. Published May 27, 2015 | By Robin Zlotnick 1.

"Angelica's Worst Nightmare" 1/20 In this episode, Angelica learns that her mom is going to have another baby, and the thought of adults diverting their attention from her spoiled little self for one second sends her into a straight tizzy. She has a nightmare in which her parents have forgotten all about her and focus entirely on her baby brother, who is actually gigantic and threatens Angelica with a terrifying, mob boss voice. He and his terrible lisp chase Angelica through the house until he catches up to her and EATS HER, exclaiming, "Now you're num-nums!" I can tell you that from an oldest child's standpoint, this episode cut deep.

"In the Dreamtime - Part 1" Less than a minute into this episode, Chuckie is surrounded by Alice in Wonderland-level trippy sights, like a snake made out of a hose, giant flowers, and a creepy naked man only wearing leaves around his...sensitive areas. Shortly after, the most horrible thing imaginable happens.

Chuckie asks Tommy what's going on, and Tommy turns around, has the face above, and exclaims in a terrifying clown voice, "I'm not Tommy!" Chuckie awakes from his nightmare, relieved to find it was just a dream. But then the dream within a dream continues... 20 Times "Rugrats" Was Nightmarishly Creepy 3. "The Case of the Missing Rugrat" This was the most personally traumatic episode of Rugrats for me, due, in part, to the kidnapping, but mostly due to the crusty, dusty, crazy old ladies. Tommy accidentally ends up in a car that makes its way to the Grey Gardens-esque world of Emma and Clarice Pendragon, two sisters who have way too many cats and live in the squalor of a dark, dank and decrepit old mansion. They take a liking to Tommy because they think he resembles their father (he doesn't). Emma and Clarice dress him in creepy doll clothes and start calling him "Bostwick," and they stop the butler from calling the authorities because they believe Tommy was sent to them to be the heir to their nonexistent family riches.

Though Tommy is returned relatively unharmed (physically at least) at the end of the episode, we were scarred for life. 20 Times "Rugrats" Was Nightmarishly Creepy 4. "Chuckie's Wonderful Life" In this beyond depressing episode, based on It's a Wonderful Life, Chuckie decides to run away. But before he does, his "gardening" angel appears and shows him what life would be like if he didn't exist. In this bizarro world, Chuckie's dad is 100% bonkers; his house is covered in floor-to-ceiling greasy pizza boxes and he talks to a sock puppet. Phil and Lil are monster children who run around breaking things, most of all their defeated parents' hearts. Tommy is left starving and dirty while his parents slave away to serve all the food they can find to a bloated, greedy Angelica who's too fat to move. It's DARK, people. We watched this as CHILDREN. 20 Times "Rugrats" Was Nightmarishly Creepy 5.

"Give and Take" "Hi, I'm Boppo," repeats the boomerang clown toy that terrorizes the Rugrats in this episode. Chuckie is obsessed with Boppo until, of course, Angelica makes him realize Boppo's just a creepy, old clown; then Bops becomes instantly terrifying. And let's just say deflating giant inflatable clowns doesn't make them less scary. 20 Times "Rugrats" Was Nightmarishly Creepy 6. "The Last Babysitter" The classic horror movies start with a babysitter home alone with the kids, mysterious phone calls, blackouts, scary noises and a monster in the basement. That is also what happens in this super-scary episode of Rugrats. Although it turns out not to be a real monster in the end, there are enough spooky shadows and door slamming to scare even the hardest horror fans. 20 Times "Rugrats" Was Nightmarishly Creepy 7. "Legend of the Satchmo" Ah, the classic "Adult-tells-kids-an-inappropriately-scary-story-and-they-freak-out-at-everything" episode.

Grandpa takes the kids camping (in the backyard) and tell the troop of toddlers the legend of the Sasquatch. The Rugrats hear "Satchmo" and spend the episode running and screaming from branches swaying in the wind and shadows of Stu. Even though you knew they were safe, the spooky darkness of the episode was fairly legit. 20 Times "Rugrats" Was Nightmarishly Creepy 8. "Chuckie vs. the Potty" Parenting 101: If you want a kid to learn to use the potty, don't put a terrifying clown face on it. Also, don't let your child be routinely tortured and traumatized by an evil, blonde toddler. It will lead to horrible nightmares equating the potty with the electric chair (tough stuff for kids). 20 Times "Rugrats" Was Nightmarishly Creepy 9. "The Inside Story" You KNOW you ate inches around the watermelon seeds when you were a little kid because of this episode. If one evil toddler could scare us all into thinking watermelons would grow inside of us, it was Angelica. 20 Times "Rugrats" Was Nightmarishly Creepy 10.

"The Mattress" Grandpa needs a new mattress but he's really stubborn about it. Never mind that it's the nastiest mattress on the planet, frightening in and of itself, and looks like Norman Bates's mother's bed from Psycho . That was surely imprinted on the minds of all of the impressionable youth that watched this episode. Oh, and also the dream sequence when the mattress comes to life and chases after them. 20 Times "Rugrats" Was Nightmarishly Creepy 11. "Chuckie's New Shirt" This episode of Rugrats explores the horrifying experience everyone has where you change something about your appearance and you don't even recognize yourself anymore. All the adults say they can "hardly recognize you!" and you lose your sense of identity and die alone. Okay, so maybe that doesn't happen, but it's a real fear! Change is hard. And evil. And no one should ever do it, ever. That's definitely healthy. 20 Times "Rugrats" Was Nightmarishly Creepy 12.

"In the Dreamtime - Part 2" In the second part of the episode, Chuckie tells Tommy about the dream in which he was a clown, but it soon becomes clear this is also a dream. (Or should we say, nightmare?) The Rugrats climb stairs upon stairs, only to come to a hall with portraits of babies with no necks and six eyes. Chuckie leaps into space and falls until he wakes again. Then, Chuckie finds himself right at the start of his first dream. We do not trust this reality farther than we can throw it. And neither does Chuckie. Convinced he's dreaming, he goes into the neighbor's yard and confronts their scary dog, which makes him realize he's definitely awake. That night, Chaz tucks Chuckie into bed and goes to find Stu in his living room. ONLY IT'S EVIL DREAM CLOWN STU who says, "I'm not Stu!" and laughs maniacally and that's the end of the episode. 20 Times "Rugrats" Was Nightmarishly Creepy 13. "Dust Bunnies" Spring cleaning is horrible enough to make any adult run screaming, let alone kids.

This episode has Angelica spooking Chuckie and Tommy with false tales of dust bunnies, evil bunnies that only come out when the furniture is moved. They're pictured as scraggly things with long serpentine ears that wrap around Chuckie and drag him to his death. You know, classic kid stuff! NOT. Terrifying even today. 20 Times "Rugrats" Was Nightmarishly Creepy 14. "Real or Robots?" This episode, like all haunting moments as a child, begins with Tommy and Chuckie watching a movie that's way too scary for them. A mad robot scientist with an evil chuckle takes over the world by changing all the dads to robots. Though Stu turns off the movie, it still rattles Tommy's mind as he tries to sleep, and they decide they have to find out if Tommy's dad is real or a robot. Of course their investigation coincides with Stu's struggle with sleepwalking and the kids find themselves chased by a dad zombie all over the house. 20 Times "Rugrats" Was Nightmarishly Creepy 15.

"Grandpa's Bad Bug" After a night of partying, Grandpa lies to Stu and Didi, says he's got a "bug," and goes to sleep it off. Of course, the Rugrats think an actual bug is inside of him and they spend the whole episode trying to get it out. Thinking his poor innocent uvula is the bug, they reach toy pliers right in there and yank while he's asleep! In case that isn't gag-worthy enough for you, the kids also fill sleeping Grandpa's bed with "good bugs" that will help get the bad bug out of him. If you've ever gotten an itch while in bed and become convinced you're entirely covered in creepy crawlies, maybe skip this episode. 20 Times "Rugrats" Was Nightmarishly Creepy 16. "Special Delivery" When Tommy sneaks his way into the mailman's bag, he ends up at the post office, where he goes through a conveyor belt maze and ends up getting thrown down a shoot with "cancelled" packages. He almost ends up in this bin with a skeleton visible at the bottom, suggesting that this happened to a person once before and that that person ACTUALLY DIED DOWN THERE.

20 Times "Rugrats" Was Nightmarishly Creepy 17. "The Mysterious Mr. Friend" Stu Pickles' mad scientist/inventor ways led to many creepy contraptions throughout the course of the show, but none so overtly, horrifically terrifying as Mr. Friend.

He's a vaguely European Dr. Phil slash mad scientist type, and he might be Chuckie's new "mommy" (much to his dismay). Lipschitz is left with the kids in the Pickles house, so naturally he decides to take a bubble bath, roll on the floor in a robe crying and give the kids piggy back rides. You probably don't remember this episode because it's extremely disturbing and problematic in every way imaginable.
